Hello dear See after 19 months of baby post partum breast feeding pain is common due to prolactin hormonal release White spots could be blocked milk spores which will become effective after continues feeding So donot worry they are normal finding. In case you find presence of Fever Pain unbearable Infection Redness Trauma Discomfort Vomiting Then consult gynaecologist in person for better clarity and accordingly get medicine as per doctor’s recommendation Hopefully you recover soon Regards

Hello

Irregular periods for 4–6 months while breastfeeding are common because hormones can stay unstable — but breast pain with a spot on the nipple is not normal and needs attention.

Most likely causes

• Hormonal changes from breastfeeding → irregular cycles • Nipple infection, blocked duct, or small abscess → pain + spot • Weight change can also disturb periods

About the medicines you mentioned Zerodol-SP, Taxim-O, and Rabex-D should only be taken if prescribed after examination.

Painkillers may reduce symptoms but won’t fix an infection if present.

What you should do • Continue breastfeeding if tolerable (it helps prevent blockage) • Keep nipple clean and dry • Warm compress before feeding, cold compress after • See a doctor soon to examine the nipple — you may need targeted treatment

Seek care urgently if • Redness spreads • Fever appears • Severe pain or swelling • Pus or bleeding from nipple

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

Hello I can see you’re dealing with several things—irregular periods since August, breastfeeding a 19-month-old, nipple pain with white spots, and you’ve taken several medications. Let me understand better.

Important questions: 1. The white spots on your nipple—are they: - Only on the nipple, or spreading to the breast? - Painful to touch, or mainly painful when baby feeds? - Itchy or just sore? 2. The nipple pain—did it start when the white spots appeared, or before? 3. Your irregular periods since August—what’s the pattern? - Are they very light, very heavy, or unpredictable timing? - How many days apart are they coming? 4. Weight changes—have you gained or lost weight? How much approximately? 5. The medications you took (Zerodol SP, Taxim O, Rabez D)—when did you take them, and for how long? (This matters because some can affect breastfeeding) 6. Any other symptoms? Like fever, discharge from nipple, or breast swelling/redness?

The white spots on nipple + pain could be thrush (fungal infection) or something else—this needs proper assessment.

Thank you

Since you are breastfeeding a 19-month-old baby and have had irregular periods for several months along with nipple pain and white spots, these issues are most likely related to hormonal changes from lactation and local breast problems rather than something dangerous. Breastfeeding can delay or disturb ovulation and cause irregular or missed periods for many months. The nipple pain with white spots may be due to a blocked milk duct or mild infection such as Mastitis or Milk blister, which can cause tenderness while feeding. Medicines like Zerodol SP and Taxim O should only be used if prescribed, and unnecessary antibiotics should be avoided. Use warm compresses before feeding, ensure proper latch, empty the breast fully, maintain hygiene, and rest well. If you develop fever, redness, swelling, severe pain, or pus discharge, see a doctor. In conclusion, your irregular periods are likely due to breastfeeding hormones and the nipple pain may be a blocked duct or mild infection, both usually manageable with proper care and medical guidance if symptoms persist.

Irregular periods while breastfeeding can be caused by several factors. One common reason is the hormonal changes that continue postpartum, especially if you’re breastfeeding, which can affect your menstrual cycle. Regarding the pain and nipple lesion, it could be due to a localized infection or inflammation. If you’ve been prescribed Zerodol-SP, an anti-inflammatory medication, Taxim-O, an antibiotic, and Rabez-D, a proton pump inhibitor, there seems to be a concern for infection and possible inflammation. However, persistent pain or the presence of a nipple lesion needs further evaluation. Developing a nipple lesion during breastfeeding can sometimes indicate conditions such as mastitis or even a yeast infection, both of which can cause significant discomfort. I recommend ensuring good breastfeeding practices to avoid potential further irritation and infection: try changing the feeding position to reduce stress on the affected area, maintain good nipple hygiene, and use breast pads to keep the area dry. If the symptoms persist despite the medications, follow up with your healthcare provider is crucial. They may need to reevaluate the situation, what you’re experiencing might need a different approach. Anytime there’s a new or persistent lesion or skin change, especially with pain, it’s important to address these issues promptly to rule out any serious underlying conditions.
